Summary:
Baldwin Park Unified includes 15 schools: eight elementary, four middle and three high schools. In 2025–2026, the schools’ unweighted averages were 37% proficient in English language arts (ELA), 27% in math and 24% in science, compared with state rates of 49%, 38% and 36%. The most important finding is the wide divide between schools: the strongest and weakest results differ by 60 points in ELA, 38 in math and 36 in science.
Sierra Vista High led ELA at 64% and science at 37%; its ELA result was 15 points above the state rate, though its math rate was 30%, below the state’s 38%. Baldwin Park High was close behind in ELA at 63%. Kenmore Elementary led math at 40%, 2 points above the state, and its ELA result of 49% nearly matched the state. At the other end, North Park Continuation High had the lowest results in all three subjects: 4% in ELA, 2% in math and 1% in science. SchoolDigger places BP STEM Academy at 69% ELA in fifth grade, despite its all-grade ELA rate of 40%—a reminder that grade-specific results can show a different picture.
Across the two years, the average gap from the state widened in every subject: from 9 to 12 points in ELA, 11 to 12 in math and 9 to 12 in science. Individual schools moved in different directions: BP STEM’s ELA rate fell 9 points, while De Anza Elementary’s math rate rose 9 points and Kenmore’s science rate rose 11. SchoolDigger ranks Sierra Vista High at the 67th percentile among high schools, Kenmore at the 58th percentile among elementary schools and North Park at the 2nd percentile among high schools. All schools report free/reduced lunch eligible (FRL) for 2024–2025; rates range from 87% at Kenmore to 96% at Charles D. Jones Middle. These figures provide context, not an explanation for results; because schools serve different grade spans, comparisons within the same grade are more useful when available.
